Besides the issue Jonas mentioned, I think there is another no-go: You
can not simply throw a PhET tarball into the Debian source archive and
unpack it in the postinst script. The correct was is to create a phet
package and make an ezgo metapackage depend from it.
In short: Blends source packages might carry some artwork or localisation
stuff that does not have some separate upstream project but not whole
third parties as payload.
Please find a way to distribute this separately from the ezgo source
package.
Thank you in any case for your work on ezgo
Andreas.
